The readline library that was installed in /usr/lib/libreadline.a was
referencing symbols that do not exist in the C library (e.g., _xmalloc).
I suspect that this is because they took the readline library from bash
or gdb or something and installed it. Or perhaps the library was not
recompiled when the C library changed. In any case, I compiled
readline-1.1 (source in sipb/gnu) and installed it as
/usr/lib/libreadline.a on quiche. (It is also in
/afs/sipb/project/gnu/lib/@sys/libreadline.a)
Maintainers of whatever distribution we are using should be informed
of this oversight.
